The feminine portion of the Salvation

hall and stage are used as occasion requires
All last night the Army was packing its
trunks. and this morning it will gtart for its
new field of labor.
The meetings recently have not been as
largely attended as they were when the
Army first landed here Then the hall was
crowded every night and at the Sunday
night services people were turned away.
The Savannah corps was a novelty for
awhile and the attendance increased, but it
was not so great as at first.

In q Predicament

The railroads are in the dark yet as to
the full meaning of the long and short haul
clause of the interstate commerce bill. The
failure of the Interstate Commerce Com
missioners to further interpret the
clause has put the roads in
an embarrassing position Virgil
Powers, commissioner of the Southern Rail
way and Steamship association, has issued
circular announcing that all rates on the
lines in the association will be suspended
to-day, when the order issued by the inter
state commission, suspending the fourth
section, will expire by limitation, and so far
as the railroad men are able to understand,
the obnoxious section will be in full force
again. This it now seems, will
be the means of bringing matters
to a crisis and a test case will
most likely result. The commission three
weeks since rendered decision relative to
the long and short haul clause, but it was
not q clear Interpretation, and Vice Presi-
dent Smith, of the Louilville and Nashville
railroad asked for more comprehensive
construction, but it has not come out The
rates which Commissioner Powers states
will be suspended are those in force before
the interstate law went into force, and were
used up to this. time by reason of the sus-
pension of section 4. As the
matter now stands the railroads
must adhere as closely as possible to what
they believe to be the law. If they make a
mistake, they will be liable to fine of s., 900

A union passenger depot is talked of at
Griffin The Central railroad depot there

Chattanooga is getting anxious about the

Williamson to tell the people something
about the road and its prospects. The Times

MUST CONQUER SELF.

Bishop Weeds Sermon at Christ
Church-An Appeal for the Poor.
Bishop Edwin Weed, of Florida, preached
in Christ church yesterday morning. His
text was: $50 fight l, not as one that beat
eth the air; but | keep under my body,
and bring it into subsection; lest by any
means when have preached to others my
self should be castaway. u. Cor. tx, 25-
20
The subject of the sermon was mans
struggle with self. This was st. Paul's
great cross. His one great struggle in life
was with himself. He had much to endure,
but he was no ordinary, faint-hearted man
His courage never failed. The one unswerv-
ing purpose of his life was to be true to his
convictions. He was cheerful and enduring
He had unbounded confidence in the over
ruling providence of God and at last he
conquered and peace reigned in his soul
Life, the Bishop said, is a continual strug-
gle, search after happiness People seek
happiness in different ways-one man by
leading religious life, another by leading
a worldly life. Gods design is TO bring our
spirit into harmony with His spirit; but
that can be done only when sin has been
rooted ont SO that he who leads worldly
life can never know true happiness. Cheer
fulneSs is as great a Christian virtue as
love. FSU. teul, III MS Struggle WIN Une
monster, self, was cheerful through it all
He realized what he had to endure So we,
to make our struggle lighter, must be
cheerful To conform our will to the will
of God is hard struggle, but it is blessed
one. 1t is the only struggle that
brightens life as we go through it.
Sympathy gives us strength and helps
us on. 1t passes mysteriously from
heart to heart and lifts us nearer to God,
and unless the heart be lifted up to God the
outward relations of our lives will bring
little more than disappointment. Our eter-
nal happiness depends not upon our conflict
with the outer world, but upon the earnest
ness with which we wage the conflict with
that hideous giant self. God alone can sat
isfy the cravings of our hearts. The Chris
tian soul is at peace only when the love OF
God abideth there, and until self has been
| conquered and sin has been driven out, Gods
| peace cannot enter.
At the close of his sermon Bishop Weed
made an appeal in behalf of the poor of the
parish, for whom the offerings of the day
| were made.

THE BALL AND BAT.
The Movement to Organize an Inter-
state League Generally Indorsed.

The Movement to Organize an Inter
state League Generally Indorsed.
The movement to organize an interstate
league is meeting with general favor in base
ball circles. The movement was first start
ed about three weeks ago The plan then
proposed was to organize six or eight club
league, including Savannah, Charleston,
Augusta, Macon, Atlanta, Columbus, Pen
sacola and Jacksonville With the excep-
ton of the batteries only local players were
to be employed.
The experience of the past two years has
shown pretty clearly that professional base
ball cannot be sustained in the smaller
Southern cities. A league organized upon
the plan proposed can be maintained at a
far less expense than the Southern League
has been and the interest in the sport will
be greater A meeting will be held to-
morrow night at the office of Mr..
|. G. Haas, No. 141 Bay street,
when plan of organization
will be submitted. The necessity of early
action is apparent. AS soon as local or
ganization is effected committees will be APP
pointed to work up the movement elsewhere.
Some correspondence has already been had,
and it is understood that Charleston and
Jacksonville are ready to go in at once.
The long journeys required in the present
league, the distance between playing centres
and the cost of maintaining professional clubs
have about resulted in the breaking up of
the league. A new league composed of
clubs nearer together and made up of local
players can hardly fail to succeed under
proper management.

Savannah has not made any elaborate
preparations for the celebration of the ''Glo-
rious Fourth" but if the weather does not
interfere, the average Savannahian will
stand chance of getting about as much
enjoyment out of the day as anybody well
can
Being a legal holiday, the banks, the
Board of Trade, Cotton Exchange, Custom
House and municipal Offices will be closed,
and business generally will be suspended in
the afternoon.
The military will parade this morning and
the parade will be the only public demon

track, the Catholic Library Association pic
mic at Greenwich Park, the Chatham Ar
tillerys outing at Isle of Hope, the Knights
of Labor picnic at Montgomery, the Chat
ham Gun Clubs shooting contest at their
grounds, and base ball at the park, will
be the principal events of the day. The

carry the Yacht Clubs members and
their guests over the course will
leave the city at 10 o'clock this morning in
stead of IL o'clock as announced yesterday
The programme for the day has already
been given in the MORNING NEWS. Although
the weather last night was threatening it
may clear off this morning. The probable
ties are stationary temperature, winds shift
ing to east and south, fair weather, except
rain at coast stations.

DIR. BACoNs SERMON REVIEWED
And Few ofIts Salient Points Touched
Upon.

And Few ofIts Salient Points Touched
Upon.
| SAVANNAH, GA, July 3-Editor Morn
ing Ne,os: Moderation is a good maxim to
follow, but presumption must be met with
resentment.
Sunday morning Dr. Bacon preached a
sermon ON the Fourth of July" in which,
after recounting several interesting hstori-
| cal events in the early history of the Bible,
he drew comparisons by showing, that as
God had raised up Gideon to deliver his
people, so in like manner had he raised up
Washington for American independence.
| he argued that in like manner had
| God also raised up Grant and Lincoln
| for the protection of his people, or if God
raised up Gideon and Washington for the
| deliverance of his people from the hands of
their oppreSsors, so also did God raise up
Grant and Lincoln for the deliverance of his
people, "the Northerners," from the hands
of their oppressors, ''the Southerners." The
latter clause could be reversed without en-
dangering truth. But as DR.. Beron's argu-
ment was as clear as Savannah river ''arte-
siam water, we will give the benefit of the
doubt and suppose that he referred to the
abolition of slavery. One point, however,
he did make very plain, namely,
that the South was in the wrong, and
true Southerner will deny In the course
of his sermon, if it may be called so, DR..
RacOn read an extract from an Grafton de
livered at Gettysburg the other day, pre-
sumably by a Southern man, and in which,
with words of servility worthy of the time
Of Napoleon l., the South expressed its love
and regard for the memories of Grant and
Lincoln and gratitude for the result of the
war. There is a great deal of truth in this,
for the South does and always will cherish
the memories of Grant and Lincoln with
the same deep affection which the
North shows for jefferson Davis, and
gratitude for the result of the war
is marked by the same kindly spirit
which prompted DR.. Bacon to inform a
Southern congregation, in meaning, if not
in words, that their dead were killed fight
ing against God since God was on the North
ern side, or strongest side, for all the prayers
in Christendom would not save one man
struggling against dozen. In closing, |
will refer Dr. Bacon TO J. Davis Rise and
Fall of the Confederacy," and tell him that
since this book has not been answered he
can, by answering it, give full scope to his
ambition and genius, and at the same time
confer great favor upon those unfortunate
and erring Southerners who yet insist that
they were right. Many Southerners
admire certain traits in the
character of both Grant and Lincoln,
but few see any special reason for love.
Every Southerner and Northerner should
do all in their power to close the gap of an
tagonism but that gap will never be closed
whilst men of one section try to enforce
their views upon the other. If DR.. Bacon
wishes his feelings spared he will do well to
spare the feelings of others.

JUMPED OVERHEARD AT SEA.
Supposed Suicide of a Passenger on
the Tallahassee.


A cabin passenger on the steamship ITALIA
hassee, booked as E. Hastings, Savannah,
Ca, disappeared from the vessel the night
after her departure from New York on her
last trip down and is supposed to have
jumped overheard.
The Tallahassee arrived at her wharf here
at O'Clock yesterday morning and the
matter was at once reported to the Com
panys Office. The steamer left New York
Thursday afternoon. Hastings was assigned
to his stateroom and was seen several times
on deck and in the cabin
during the evening He was in the
smoking room between 8 and 10
o'clock, and that was the last
seen of him. Mr.. s. S. Friedlim and Mr.. D.
| Fischer of Savannah, were in the smoking
room and talked with Hastings some time.
From their description he was about feet
9 inches in height dark complexloned
rather sallow, black hair and moustache,
dark eyes and apparently about % years old.
He wore a black coat and vest, gray panta-
looms, black derby hat, low quarter patent
leather shoes, brown stockings, standing col
lar and black tie. He had a watch chain,
and probably a watch, although the latter
was not seen. He said that he had a
place in Bronson, Fla, and was
on his way there for his health.
He mentioned to Messrs. Fisher and Friedlim
several parties there whom he said that he
knew. Among others were w. j. Epperson
and Ira j. Carter He seemed to be in i'll
health, and was melancholy, low spirited
and not inclined to talk much. He was not
under the influence of liquor, and it is sup
posed that in a fit of dependency he jumped
overheard
He was not missed until the next morning
after the ship left New York and then
careful search was made without finding
any traces OF him. His berth had not been
occupied. He had no baggage and there
was nothing in his stateroom by which he
might be identified. Capt Fisher says that
he has no doubt that the man committed SUI
icide. Inquiry in Savannah failed to dis
cover any friends Of the missing man.
